Hi there
I have a 2010 Patrol wagon, petrol gas with 85000 kms and in the customer information handbook it says the transmission oil should be changed every 80000 except for transmissions 6AT and 7AT. Now I have no idea what transmission I have except that originally there was no transmission oil dipstick, but I added one after reading it was a good idea.
I have just bought a 2.6 ton caravan and intend to tow it 4000 km to Northern NSW and then back to Victoria, so am getting my vehicle serviced.
Should the transmission oil be changed, either in accordance with manufacturer recommendation or simply becuase it would be a good idea and no oil will last for ever? What type of oil would be a good choice. I was just quoted $480 to replace with fully synthetic oil, that sounds like a expensive exercise
Thanks for any suggestions
Cheers
Kevin
